You are not alone, there is a silent army of us.
Broken but who keep it together to take care of the world.
We leave ourselves behind and suffer.
I should have learned how to be selfish instead of a codependent.

We must take care of ourselves, yes. But my brokenness is not so much due to codependence as it is to mental illness. Having bipolar disorder does put me at risk of overworking during my hypomanic phases, of which employers once did take advantage.

Your words have been of great support to me Kitt. I truly think you have an empathy that shines despite the miles between us.

I am studying psychology and perhaps this is what leads us to such paths, our underlying experience – I was not aware of my bipolar or even deep troubles before starting my study path. I of course was aware I suffer depression from ‘time to time’ but ultimately working with children in care as a foster carer is what drove me into psychology in my concious mind.

Thank you so much for taking the time to support me, i will be forever grateful and wish you well for years to come.

Hey Kitt, thanks for not mixing words. We are broken, and this is highlighted and at its most extreme if you take away our medications. And who knows how long the medications will be effective for? And, yes, your words touch others. Thanks!
